like i said, a b side still can be released as a stand alone before the album release

EXO’s hear me out and let me in are also both b sides that were released before the album

 

also remixes don’t mean much, i mean NJ also released one for Hurt after the album release (with a special video too) does that mean it also became a single?

 

that hurt remix is not available for streaming except  for that special YouTube video. literally nowhere on their spotify, Apple pandora or Amazon but you tried. for it to be consider as a single, it needs to be released officially. and those two exo songs are singles, literally pre released singles, used to promote to the album their upcoming comeback

a pre released track cannot not be bside  that's literally what a single means? I just gave you the very definition of what a music single means— a song that is used to promote the album/artist and is released as a stand alone. anyways can we move on with this topic, im sure we will not agree to what a bside really means so lets just keep pushing.

As @hallucinate already told you, that definition unravels your entire list. It literally doesn't make sense. 

 

After showing you sources of press releases clearly saying in Korean that the song is a "B-side", information that the song is a pre-released track not a single and clear evidence that, unlike Life's Too Short, Illusion was never marketed as a single, I don't know what to tell you at this point.

Also Swipe should get disqualified from the list as they promoted it as a follow-up single like LSRF did with EVE

 

 

[jeanie]

my god it is really not that serious

[OrgVisual]

Anyways, the only b-sides on that list that have never been promoted, having MV or performed on music shows are Shoot, Good Parts and Lucid Dreams  

[OrgVisual]

Btw, how the **** YEPPI is the 2nd least streamed track on Savage mini? The absolutely lack of taste from Spotify fans

No cause if you want to casually drag aespa I'll be happy to provide all the receipts, arguing on who flopped less with album tracks is just ....

girl we are just having a normal discussion, relax

many kpop groups are releasing b sides and performing them, it’s hard to determine whether a song is a b side or not nowadays

 

anyways, it seems like we have different definitions of a b side (and we are not able to find a middle ground) so it’s best if we end it

thats cause I was not even trying to drag aespa, I literally stan them (wil not call myself a my tho, anything except that name) maybe mys are assuming i was trying to drag aespa coz i didn't include Illusion in the list. anyways you need to get a job fr instead of shading aespa

[Antisocialites]

pre-release singles are (promo) singles, not b-sides. this is just common knowledge.

its just many of you started coming at me at once  but I agree that it's good to see many groups promoting their bsides well instead of just letting it be dungeoned

That’s actually quite insane, like this means that they have performed in 3 different tours in the last year, from the moment they start this upcoming tour! Has there ever been any other Kpop act touring this much? 
 

How big do you think the venues will be this time, bestie? 

Seventeen has been going through a similar path touring-wise. After their Dome Tour, I think they will jump on a World Tour soon too. 

 

I see it being a mix of stadiums, domes and arenas overall. They might upgrade the venues on US (a few stadiums dates with arenas) and Japan (only Domes, or even stadiums along with them) in comparison to Maniac Tour. I think this time they will visit Canada too...

 

Latin America I think It will be mostly arenas, except for Brazil which I see them doing an Allianz Parque date. 

 

Oceania, I think they will mantain the same Sydney and Melbourne 2 dates on the same venue. 

 

SEA I think It will be mostly the same venues of Maniac Tour, tbh. Same for Korea and KSPO Dome. 

 

Europe will also be all arenas, especially since It's their first time going for a World Tour there and I do see them not filling their demand, as they have a big following in the whole continent, not only the same Paris-Berlin-London route. And a lot of fans will travel. 

 

I wonder If they will go to Middle East. Last year they went to Saudi Arabia for a Festival (only them and Chungha) with like 40k fans and the crowd was mostly for them, but It was cancelled when they were ready to go to stage due heavy raining. And It was promised they would comeback soon, but Idk 

 

Also Rip Africa, SKZ has a good following on some countries there and is the 3rd most streaming k-act on their streaming plataform on SA, but they will never go there, most likely.

 

Tldr: there's demand for them in the whole world i fear

Life is so much easier and the thread looks more cleaner when you put users on mute who only vicariously live on shading groups they don't even like, jobless OAeHs

They went to the superior songs like Lucid Dreams and Aenergy instead  Yeppi2 is catchy but it can be grating sometimes

Looking back, the choreographer was really basic.  

The way they could have done better on their own.

I love this song so much

 

 

Queen Ning also recorded a version as part of SM Rookies 

 

 

[Xalric]

I'm really curious about the first concept of SMROOKIES GG. They were so all over the place music wise from Disney to f(x), SNSD to ended up being aespa with a completely different line up.
